Shinka no Mi

Meet in the woods

- Dear Sir, Father, Mother. And Salia and the others. How are you, sir?

I am now...

"- The potato worm chased me. Oh, oh, oh!

"" "Pughuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Because of the crystal that came out of Destra's belongings, I was flown into a strange forest where magic couldn't be used. I continued to fade away after that, and when I realized it, I dawned overnight.

I didn't feel drowsy or hungry because of my weightless body, and I kept searching all night, but I couldn't find any signs of people. No, I think he's genuinely quitting as a human being that he doesn't want to sleep and he's not hungry.

Anyway, compared to when I was first flown into the [endless forest of sad love], I had a lot of spiritual leeway because of my strength problems and the circumstances in which I could communicate with the Sarias, albeit.

But when I defeated "Berthak Papillon LV: 78" like a giant bald ostrich that hit me while I was exploring the woods, a green buoyant potato bug that was about five meters long... a large group of "Berthak Caterpillar LV: 55" came at me in a mad way.

Besides, that number is unusual, and there seem to be hundreds of them.

"Batta, butterflies and adults would be fine, but potato worms are just creepy. No, no, no!

"Pughuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

I was playing a desperate escape play with a rattle behind my back that made me want to scream if I was really going to sound like that.

Because if I run all I can, I'm pretty sure I can get away with it, but if I do, the forest will blow up. I don't know, because natural destruction isn't meant to be!

Nevertheless, there is no doubt that Jilli is poor if it stays this way.

I don't like it... I don't like it, but you have to take it down...!

When I solidify my resolve, I strike and change, pulling out the Abominable Fine Sword (Black) and turning back to the large swarm of potato worms.

And...

"Come on, motherfucker!

Waving black consciously to ensure that it did not affect the surrounding woods as much as possible, he tore the potato worms that were at the head of the large crowd into two pieces, and the slaughter also tore the potato worms that were in the middle of the large crowd without stopping.

As a result...

"" "P, puggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Green drops of fluid splashed all the way over here.

…………

I look at it silently and turn my back on the potato worms again.

"I knew it was creepy, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!

I can't, I can't, I can't! I can't physiologically do it, not because of my fighting power! How about every time I defeat you, I can do our mental powers!?

When I started running away again, I was running over the cliff unaware.

"............ hmm? Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!?"

Too desperate to escape, too stupid to notice the cliff!?

I was suddenly surprised that the ground was gone, and I fell from a cliff to the ground for more than 30 meters without having to take any measures.

"Fluffy."

Me landing on the ground from the face, but no particular pain, not even nosebleeds. I knew you weren't human.

When I got up and looked up at the cliff, I saw the potatoes looking at me resentfully on the cliff.

Apparently, the potato worms won't come after us until they jump off this cliff, either, and they just left.

... No, how much I was wearing the 'Boots of the Sky King' and couldn't afford to activate it. That didn't make such a dumb fall......

Though I thought I was really in too much of a hurry to lose a lot of things, I regained my mind, turned my gaze behind me, and was exhausted again.

"Yep... how vast is this forest...?

The tip of the fall off the cliff is also in the woods, and magic still cannot be used here.

I tried using 'Boots of the Sky King' to move up to the sky, tried using magic, but still didn't activate. This is like a single space, including the sky.

Still, the effect of the equipment seems to be different from magic, so the neckline is also decorative, and the effect of the boots is exerted properly. I wish I had some kind of metastatic tool.

"What can I say? Anyway, we need to get to a place where magic seems to work."

Because of the lack of objects, I set foot in the woods in front of me again.

◆ ◇ ◆

"Hmm?"

After walking for a while, I inadvertently heard the sound of water flowing in my ears.

"Is this... a river?

The fact that there's a river means that if you follow it, maybe there's something like a human being.

"First, let's go to the one who makes the noise"

Currently, it would be around noon in time. The sun is just around the top.

And I've been walking all night since yesterday, and I'm not tired, but I feel a little dusty. If the river is clean, I don't have to take a full body bath, at least I want to wash my face.

After the masses of potato worms, when things went smoothly without being attacked by demons, we finally reached a place where the sound of water...!

"We're here. Whoa, whoa, whoa!

"Heh!?"

"Huh?"

- There, a woman with long purple hair, red eyes like blood, was staring at me with her eyes open.

He seemed to be just in the water bath, with water dripping into his purple hair and skin.

And being in the water bath means that the woman in front of you is naturally not dressed...

……

We look at each other, and when the air solidifies...

"- KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

"- Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Me and the woman screamed at each other.

"Why are you screaming?"

Then, the woman immediately stumbles like that, staring at me while hiding her body with her hands or something.

"This, I can't believe you're naked outside like this...... pervert!

"Hey, that's not weird!? This is where I ask questions!?"

"Ya, sure..."

"What is it, you!?"

"- What is it, Your Majesty?

Nodding unexpectedly at the woman's exact allegations, a tall woman appeared, dressed in gothic armor from behind it.

The woman in armor is knitting her long white hair in three pieces and putting it together, dripping from her shoulders.

When such a woman confirmed my appearance, she sharpened her eyes and suddenly slashed me!

"Become!? this...... thief!

"Hey, room for clarification..."

"Die!

"No more yadda people in this world!

No matter how much I try to speak, you didn't stop because you're unilaterally ignored and attacked!

The sharpness of the movement, etc. feels similar to that of Lewis, so maybe strength is as good as that of Lewis.

But I avoided such an attack in such a way that I felt sick myself.

"That disgusting move...... after all, it's an evil maneuver!

"That's a lot of abstract decision!?"

What's evil trick? You mean [Demon Church]? Well, I also think the movement is disgusting to all these evil gods!

Nevertheless, it's also true that I came to the river without proper confirmation, so you can't even attack a woman from me, and even keep dodging the attack.

Well, how do you solve a misunderstanding...

"- Stop it, Liel."

Then a woman who was in the water bath until earlier, dressed in luxurious clothes, told him so in an oddly piercing atmosphere, when she changed. No, not just the atmosphere, but the tone is changing...?

"Huh! But, Your Majesty...!

"I said stop the rest. Don't make me say it again."

"Ha..."

I don't know, but the woman in armor who was called Riel thanks to the woman in front of him put his sword away.

But don't forget to stare at me and just say that if you make any weird moves, you'll slap him right off. Yeah? Scary......

When I was pulling too far into shape, a woman in luxurious clothes stared straight at me.

"Who are you?

"Heh? Who is... me, Seiichi the Adventurer?

Is this it? But there's nothing else I'm likely to be able to answer...

When I was wondering if my response was really good, for some reason Mr. Riel and the woman in front of me weakened my guard.

"Hmm... from the sound of the name, it doesn't look like a spy from the Kaisel Empire..."

"But there is also the possibility of a brave man summoned from another world."

"Let's do that, too. He doesn't have a collar or a bracelet. I can't imagine that country letting a brave man go wild without a collar or bracelet."

"So, of the denomination?

"That would be thin, too. Either way, if you're an enemy, you must be attacking at one point."

Two people talking hissopotamus in a voice that I can't hear. Um? You don't know how to tell a secret story in front of me, do you?

Nevertheless, it probably seems suspicious to me that I came there because of Mr. Riel and the accustomed feeling of a woman in fancy clothes against this forest, who probably lives in this neighborhood.

"Uh... excuse me. Can I tell you one thing, too?

"What?"

A woman so full of majesty that she doesn't think she's the same person who was screaming first. Are you sure it's the same person?

"Um, is there any place around here where magic can be used?

"If there was, do you think I could tell you the rest?

"Yep..."

No, you certainly have no obligation to teach me who are strangers......

Mr. Riel hung up on me when I was exhausted by accident.

"You... put in such an exploration and what are you going to do?

"What... I want to go home with metamagic, so I just want to move to a place where magic can be used..."

"Transfer magic...... Hmm. It doesn't sound like an enemy, but it's dangerous to let go."

A woman whining about something disturbing.

Then a new figure jumped out of the trees at us like that and knelt in front of the woman.

- Your Majesty.

"Hmm? What's up?"

The person was dressed in plain black clothes with slightly different designs than Origa, and words such as covert ninja seemed to suit her.

His face is hidden with a black cloth, except for his eyes, and he doesn't know his gender. No, you can tell by using 'Advanced Appraisal'...... you have trouble moving poorly and being extra alert.

The ninja-like figure knelt down and told the woman in a sober voice.

"Thieves are on their way to the capital again."

"Chi...... depressing. We're going home now."

"" Ha!

I was totally screwed and all I could do was watch the exchange in front of me, but a ninja-like figure accidentally turned his gaze on me.

"By the way, Your Grace. How about that one?"

"Leave him alone. It's a waste of time now.... No, wait"

The woman who turned her back on me and tried to take the two of them away turned her gaze at me again once she stopped her legs.

"It would be troublesome if they were enemies and disturbed"

And he glanced at the nearby trees, and the moment the woman breathed, the flames lit the trunks of each tree.

The flame is soft and looks pulsating for some reason.

"Stop."

That's all I told you, the women walked away this time.

…………

"Ha!? No, no, take me too -"

As soon as I was about to say that, an earlier woman breathed, and for some reason the flames pulsating on the trunk of the tree began to move, getting the roots of the tree out of the ground and walking like a person using the roots of the tree cleverly, she stood before me.

"Yeah yeah!? tree walked!?"

Even if I use Advanced Appraisal unintentionally, it doesn't seem to be a demon, and I don't see any levels or names.

But the tree in front of me is moving as if it were going to stop me.

Uh... can I take this down? Can't you?

But if they stop me here, I'll have to get lost in the woods again...

Seriously confused, the tree suddenly opened its mouth.

"Can you listen to me, please?

"Huh? Yes...................... Yes?

I stare seriously at the tree.

Then the tree had eyes and mouth at some point.

…………

"The tree talked to me once, oh, my God!?"

My screams echoed through the woods.
